Polar Vantage M

Challenge your limits with Polar Vantage M, an all-round multisport & running GPS watch for anyone who loves setting new records. This slim and lightweight training companion provides you with all the data you need to improve your performance.

Smart Calories

Training Benefit

Get motivating feedback immediately after training describing the effect of the session.

Continuous Heart Rate

Get a comprehensive view on how your heart behaves during your day. Continuous heart rate monitoring gives you even more accurate calorie burn and activity data and tells you the lowest and highest heart rate of your day.

Sleep Plus™

Sleeping well will help boost your recovery and performance. Polar Sleep Plus™ automatically detects the timing, amount, and quality of your sleep.

Training Load Pro monitors the strain your training puts on your cardiovascular system (Cardio Load), and also takes into account how strained you feel (Perceived Load). If you’re using a separate running or cycling power meter, you will also get a training load value for your musculoskeletal system (Muscle Load).

When you know how strained each body system is, you can optimize your training by working the right system at the right time. You get a numerical value, verbal feedback and a visual bullet scale for each training load.

Cardio Load

Your Cardio Load value tells you how much strain your training session put on your cardiovascular system. It is calculated after every workout from your heart rate data.

Strain & Tolerance

In addition to the training load from individual training sessions, you can follow how Cardio Load builds up over time

Strain shows how much you have strained yourself with training lately. It shows your average daily load from the past 7 days.

Tolerance describes how prepared you are to endure cardio training. It shows your average daily load from the past 28 days. To improve your tolerance for cardio training, slowly increase your training over a longer period of time.

Muscle Load (only available with a power meter)
If you’re using a power meter in your running or cycling workouts, your Polar Vantage M will also calculate a Muscle Load value. Muscle Load tells you how much your muscles were strained during your training session. Muscle Load helps you quantify your training load in high-intensity training sessions, such as short intervals, sprints and hill sessions, when your heart rate doesn’t have enough time to react to the changes in the intensity.

Muscle Load shows the amount of mechanical energy (kJ) that you produced during a running or cycling session. This reflects your energy output, not the energy input it took you to produce that effort. In general, the fitter you are, the better the efficiency between your energy input and output.

One watch, 130+ sports

Choose from over 130 sports and add your favorite sport profiles to your Polar Vantage M in Polar Flow. You can add up to 20 sport profiles to your sports watch and customize individual settings for each.

For example, you can define individual heart rate, speed or power zones and choose what data you want to see on your watch face while you train.

Using the right sport profile helps you keep your training log in Polar Flow up to date. You’ll also get sport-specific feedback.
